form tag

This is probably completely obvious, but... I'm doing a code challenge that says 'Add a form tag to your page.' I added:

<form></form>

Why isn't that correct?

Thanks!

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Mastery Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Mastery Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <div>
      <h2>Shopping List</h2>
      <ol>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
      </ol>
      <p><strong>BOLD</strong></p

      <form></form>

    </div>

  </body>
</html>

Your form tags are correct, the problem was actually that your closing </p> tag is missing the last ">". This should've been picked up at the previous step but it passed for some reason.

Those form tags look good, just need to close the p tag.

Close yoour </p> tag and add the form tag outside of the <div> tag.
